We all have body vs fashion flaws. With me it is that my bust it out of proportion with the rest. So I have to be careful that I am not seen as too "top Heavy" ( by the way, as one gets older, it gets worse)

Stephanie's issue is that she doesnt have a defined waist. Many people don't. She needs to find clothes that overcome this.

what we have here is a nice enough style of dress but it makes her look like a column. And there is no colour! We have seen her in colour - one of the few women who actually can wear strong colours.

Is she not getting any help? She is an attractive woman, a good stylist could find clothes that highlighted her great skin and hair, good bust, nice legs and overcome the lack of defined waist.

this isn't meant as a criticism of Stephanie. It is a complaint that so much potential is not being achieved.

Oh I quite agree, but what really has me totally mystified is the beautiful and elegant woman we saw on the eve of her wedding. Wherever did she go, I want her back . . . she looks wonderful in Elie Saab . . . and she glows in green.

She has put on weight since her wedding but her figure remains the same, no waist. So yes, wearing a style which didn't accentuate this, as she has done would help. Plus, that loose neckline doesn't work for someone of her height and who is already top heavy. We have all seemed to bemoan the fact that she doesn't have help in this department. Even her hair, which sometimes is very nice, is not styled properly to show off the tiara or her face. It looks as thought it is squashed down, plunked on her head giving her face a squat appearance

I pointed out the same thing a few days ago and my post was deleted as inappropriate. Go figure.

Anyway, I adore that powder pink coat she is wearing on the lunch cruise!
